Theglories of hearing apply to the glories of chanting as well. After all, bychanting, one automatically hears. One can hear from others or hear one's ownchanting. Only a person who is well-versed in thesastra should be allowed to speak. However, if there is no suchspeaker, and even if there are not many inquisitive listeners, one should nevergive up discussing topics about the Supreme Lord. One can always discussnarrations of the Lord, as presented by saintly persons, in the association ofone's friends, brothers, children, and other family members.
